• Das britische Intel Update:

Russian ground forces continue their attempt to surround Severodonetsk and Lyschansk, recently capturing several villages north-west of Popasna.
Russia is pressuring the Severodonetsk pocket although Ukraine retains control of multiple defended sectors, denying Russia full control of the Donbas.
Russia’s Southern Grouping of Forces (SGF) likely remains tasked with occupying southern Ukrainian territory. In recent days, Russia has likely moved 50-year-old T-62 tanks from deep storage into the SGF’s area of responsibility.
The T-62s will almost certainly be particularly vulnerable to anti-tank weapons and their presence on the battlefield highlights Russia’s shortage of modern, combat-ready equipment.

• Im Abendbriefing der Ukraine nur angedeutet: Die Stadt Lyman ist unter russischer Kontrolle. Von der New York Times:

Russian forces’ capturing of the eastern city of Lyman, which both Russian and Ukrainian officials confirmed on Friday, makes it the second midsize Ukrainian city to change hands this week.
And with Russia’s artillery superiority in the fighting on the rolling plains of the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine — where Moscow has focused its war effort after losses around the capital, Kyiv, and in the country’s north — it is apparently close to seizing the easternmost Ukrainian city still under Ukrainian control, Sievierodonetsk.
